Previously in Ubuntu 11.10, when I had Libreoffice open in several workspaces, I would click on the Libreoffice icon to get an exposé-esque preview of all windows from all workspaces. With Ubuntu 12.04, this no longer seems to be the case. One might argue that this is better, but the usage of clicking that icon and picking the right window has become part of my workflow, and I'm very much missing that feature now.

How do I allow the Unity launcher to show all open windows of one application, regardless of their position or workspace?

It seems this may no longer be possible, but what may work for you is using Alt+` (grave key) to switch between windows. To get this to show all instances of one program, you have to uncheck viewport bias in CompizConfig Settings Manager. (Install CCSM if you don't already have it)

I've done that, as I prefer to use workspaces not as a way to switch to something else to work on, but to spread my work over the virtual desktops. What I want to do indeed seems to be impossible.
